The complete term of pregnancy usually lasts 40-42
weeks and every week brings the pregnant woman different emotional and
physical changes and challenges, mainly caused by dramatic bursts in hormones’
level. The gynaecologists usually categorize the entire term into three parts
or trimesters:
During the first part of pregnancy
(weeks 1 through 12) your baby development is incredibly fast. The production
of hormones increases drastically and it results in some changes in physical
condition, such as morning sickness, heartburn, cramps, constipation, fatigue,
mood swings, cravings for unusual or strange foods, etc. Try to concentrate on
a healthy diet and drink enough water. Many pregnant women consider this period
to be the most difficult stage in pregnancy.
The second part (weeks 13 through 24)
is called “golden age”, as mothers-to-be seldom experience any physical or
emotional discomforts. However, premature birth may occur right after the
second trimester. However, as the internal organs of the baby are fully
developed by this time, nowadays the survival rate for such babies is pretty
good.
During the last trimester (weeks 25
through 40) pregnant women are much closer to labours. They should pay
attention to the position of the baby during the last part of the pregnancy, as
the method of delivery depends on it. For instance, if the breech position is
reported, you may be recommended in the Caesarean section. The 1st and the 3rd
trimesters are the most difficult stages in pregnancy.
Don’t forget to consult a doctor at
every stage, stay calm and have plenty of sleep (9-10 hours per day).
Right Choice of Clothes for Pregnant Women
Time to go shopping
In the first trimester of pregnancy, the majority of
women have no idea how their weight will change during the coming nine months.
That’s why it’s advisable that you should buy clothes with elastic waistbands
and fasteners, which will ensure you the longest possible wearing time. While
buying pregnancy clothes, make sure you do not invest in expensive stuff as you
will only be wearing it for a few months. Buy clothes that you can mix and
match so that you have much variety in your wardrobe. Give preference to loose
dresses, tunics and any items of sportswear. Pregnant woman.
Right size, right colour
The right choice of clothes for pregnant women among
others require going for darker hues as they give an impression of a slimmer
appearance. Colours like black, navy, chocolate brown, grey, etc., make you
look thinner by at least two sizes. Besides, go for vertical stripes which add
to your height. Rely on accessories and change tops often to vary your daily
dress.
If you are a business lady and have to wear business
attire, consider buying a basic dress to be worn to both offices and out to
dinner. Don’t by anything special and trendy: basic, non-discrete attire will
come in handy if you decide to get pregnant again someday. Don’t buy in
advance, as you may jump size, and will never even try some of the items you
stacked.
